Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan believes his sensational goal against Sunderland is the best strike of his career so far.

The Armenian international, who returned from injury to take his place on the substitutes bench for the Premier League encounter, replaced Jesse Lingard in the 62nd minute and immediately stamped his authority on the game.

Linking up well with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan acrobatically met the Swede’s cross with a ‘scorpion kick’ to baffle Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and seal a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford.
